Microphone settings

StarLeaf microphones

If you are using StarLeaf microphones, choose Audio inputs > Device > StarLeaf microphones. Do not alter other settings unless there is a particular problem:

Phantom power is required and cannot be configured for StarLeaf microphones.

Volume 0dB: The volume setting adjusts the loudness of the people who are in the same room as the microphone, as heard by the other participants in the call. The recommended setting is 0dB or 6dB. Only use 12dB in very large rooms or under guidance from StarLeaf Support.

3rd party XLR microphones

If you are using 3rd party XLR microphones, choose Audio inputs > Device > 3rd-party microphones.

Phantom power: Phantom power is a way of providing power to a microphone.
The StarLeaf GT Mini 3330 and Group Telepresence 3351 both offer phantom power through each of its XLR connectors for use by active microphones, such as the StarLeaf Microphone. The phantom power supply can be enabled or disabled here.
It is compatible with active microphones, which are designed for 48V phantom power.
If you are using a third-party microphone, refer to your microphone’s documentation to discover whether or not you need to provide phantom power

Volume: The volume setting adjusts the loudness of the people who are in the same room as the microphone, as heard by the other participants in the call. For the volume, the recommended setting is 0dB or 6dB. Only use 12dB in very large rooms or under guidance from StarLeaf technical support
